Message from the Crossing Guard: For safety concerns could all students
please stay on the same side as the school when crossing by Blessed
Trinity. It is too hard when there are kids trying to cross on both sides
of the street when crossing Giddings Street. Thank you Box Tops Contest
Reminder: The contest ends Wednesday December 6th at the end of the day.
All box tops should be labeled with the Wednesday Falcon time teacher and
put into the box located in the office. The winner of the popcorn party
will be held before Christmas break. FBLA will meet in Ms. Probst’s room
(204) on Thursday at 3:15. Middle School students are starting puberty
and hormones are kicking in. At this time, hygiene needs can change
drastically. Please do not assume that your child understands these
changes and how to handle it.
Handwashing- Clean hands and fingernails are one of the best ways to
protect yourself and family from getting sick. Scrub for 20 seconds using
soap and water.
Showering/Bathing- Children need daily bathing/showering. They need to use
a mild soap and concentrate on their face, hands, feet, underarms, groin
and bottom. Faces should be washed twice daily.
Hair Washing- The frequency of hair washing depends on your child’s type of
hair and activity level. Children with oily hair may need to wash their
hair more frequently.
Underarm care- At this age, sweat glands become more active and may cause
an odor and more sweat. It is a good time to start thinking about using a
deodorant/antiperspirant.
Oral Hygiene- Brush teeth at least twice daily (and floss, too). This will
prevent tooth decay and bad breath.
Changing Clothes- Have your child wear a new set of clothing daily
(especially socks and underwear). This is an important part of hygiene.
Always remember your child’s own doctor is a great resource and you can
address any further questions.

the long term effects of smoking that can lead to cancer and emphysema.
Don’t allow anyone to smoke around yourself, your children, your home, or
your car. For more information on quitting smoking call the Free and Clear
